Brachiaria
ruziziensis, known as congo grass, is a tropical grass. In the tropics
it is one of the most common feeds for livestock. The grass is native to Rwanda
and Eastern Congo but can now be found through most of the topics. Despite
being an important crop, very little is known about this species.

The roots of this congo grass have many fine branches in
order to reach as much soil as possible.
